A standard Lego game with a huge amount of content. The game is mostly a decent port with 3 glaring issues. One far more annoying than the others.
Firstly, this consists of two Lego games: Lego Harry Potter Years 1-4 and Lego Harry Potter Years 1-7 (even though there’s a year 8 in the game)
No frame issues at all and it seems the games ported over well enough from previous generations however, 3 bugs occurred.
The first bug affects both games and results in the HUD randomly disappearing. The only way we’ve found to fix it is to close the game entirely and restart it.
This bug occurs randomly, but over the course of the 40 hours played until we unlocked everything and every trophy we had it happen over 20 times.
The second bug affects the second game and it is advised to absolutely not explore free roam between levels until you have completely beaten the story. Just head directly from level to level following the ghost. This is because for some reason if you free roam in between the levels the game can skip entire years and you’ll end up in year 8! The problem here being that you can not go back to the previous years and the game doesn’t know how to continue so you can never get to another level so it requires a restart of the game from the very beginning (luckily we’d only completed the first level before we learned this lesson).
The third bug relates to some collectibles (We only knew of a gold brick issue which we encountered, that is until contacting the game's support/devs). This bug resulted in having every collectible except one gold brick so we had 199/200 gold bricks yet we had the reward unlocked for collecting all 200 which is how we knew it had glitched.
We contacted support and they provided some passwords for the known glitches they were aware of. This revealedo some other collection issues.
The codes are as follows if you need them.

As soon as we used the first gold brick code this unlocked the glitched brick.
These codes do not affect trophies either so that’s always a bonus.
Tried the game for a few hours fully patched as well and we can confirm at the very least that the HUD bug is still present.
